I am working on a browser-based application that is essentially a Digital Audio Workstation. I've seen one out there (at http://www.indabamusic.com), and it looks like it is a Java applet. Is a Java applet the best way to do this?
I've read that C++ is generally more widely used for audio programs, and I've looked at Wt ( http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/) for a web interface option but it doesn't seem to be meant for this kind of use (correct me if I'm wrong).
I have almost no experience with C++, so I might just be biased.
You either want a java applet or to do it in Flash (perhaps Flex). It is generally messy to get C++ bits deployed broadly in a browser.
